Spain to Approve Housing Decree Tuesday After Maricarmen Eviction

The Spanish government is likely to approve a housing decree on Tuesday, following the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen in Madrid, which it views as a turning point for securing parliamentary support. The Executive is finalizing negotiations with Junts, Podemos, and Sumar to pass the royal decree in the Council of Ministers, aiming for a minimum agreement to limit evictions. Junts has shown progress on owner-friendly measures, while Sumar's proposal to expropriate Maricarmen's apartment faces rejection from Minister Félix Bolaños. Talks will continue through the weekend until the last minute before Tuesday's meeting, as the government seeks to avoid a parliamentary defeat like those in February and April 2026, when Junts sided with PP and Vox.
